I have to say I have a couple of disagreements with this... 1. Waiting does not refer to people, it refers to product sitting in a queue. This is SO important, these lean wastes always refer to product not people. 2. It's over processing not extra processing. No I'm not being picky, its totally different. EG using a computer when a piece of paper will work just as well (think of the difference in cost??). It is worth millions to understand this waste correctly... I see so may companies who try to implement Lean and get this wrong, when you get it wrong Lean can be less than useless, When used correctly you could literally produce 5 times the product from the same resources...
Hi Mel, What's your take on the new 7+1 wastes that added the unutilized skills or unexploited knowledge? I'm just thinking that it is a waste of defect in the process of recruitment and placement, which should include determining personnel's strengths and weaknesses through the performance appraisal system.
Thank you for taking time to comment. That's an interesting point that you raise. My view is that rework is a waste that results from defects and I think it fits better with Extra-Processing - Doing more than is required to satisfy the customer. Rework is an additional operations we incur due to defects. Defects cause many of the other wastes: Waiting - interruptions and slowing down to deal with defects, resupply, investigations. Motion - collecting new parts, quarantine of defective units. Transport - Movement of defects to rework areas, resupply of new components. Inventory - Stock to account for the defect rate and unpredictability. Over-Production - Making more than is required to keep the inventory higher Categorisation will always cause debate but the most important thing, as I am sure you will agree, is to identify the sources of waste and relentlessly pursue their elimination.
+Mel Thornley .. Thank you very much ,I see. I'm new in this field, so any recommendation about rich sources to know more about industerial engineering . again thank you, Eng Zaitoun
Easily the best 7 wastes video I've seen on UA-cam. I will show this to my Lean 1.0 teams.
I was doing clapping at the end of the tutorial. Its the best example that I have found over the internet.
T.I.M.W.O.O.D
-> Transportation
-> Inventory
-> Motion
-> Waiting
-> Over-Prosessing
-> Over-Production
-> Defects
This video has been very informative thank you
a unique and crystal clear understanding from your method explanation..TQ
This was very well explained about the 7 waste. May I know in which software you have made it?

I have one question,
Can I say that rework is the same as defect?
